All of our grocery aisles have arrows indicating the direction to walk in so we won’t accidentally come within 6 feet of another human. There are entry and exit signs on the floor at the start of each aisle. It’s really crazy in the produce section where there are no aisles per se but directional arrows on the floor.

Shopping is a sprint activity for me and everyone moves too slowly for me, so even if I manage to be going in the right direction, I will inevitably come upon someone browsing or moving like a snail and have to excuse myself as I dash by them. Mostly, we all go the direction we want, so if we run into someone going in the correct direction, we just look surprised that we entered the wrong way and apologize. It’s insane and the authorities are trying to make the insanity seem normal.

Our Walmart had those for a while. They are gone now. And they no longer stop you on the way in to tell you to wear a mask. Still have a sign saying they require masks, but the majority of the people don’t wear them.

I look ahead as I walk, not necessarily down. Shopping one day I saw, quite by accident, little arrows (and little feet, like dance instruction) showing me which way I should go.

I chose to ignore the childish instructions and offer no apology.
